Re: HOWTO: Install BitPim

Yeah, I know all about that, but I have had it working before on my windows. I had no problems with it there, which makes it a bit confusing why this is happening here. I would love to try the drivers from my windows installs, but have no idea of their equivalent in linux...not ever too sure where I got them. I remember having different drivers for the cable, and the phone....but, still that linux "ACM" driver is absent from my system and apperently it is needed for this operations, so..any idas on how to acquire it?

Re: HOWTO: Install BitPim

no prob, if I can get the phone to realize it is plugged in. Usually, I have to reboot, then the phone will say "USB CONNECTED". If I unplug it for whatever reason, and then plug it back in, it doesn't connect for some reason, at all, at that poin...like now, running lsusb results in an eternal wait for a result. I am trying to find a way to resolve this. If I cannot, going to reboot, and try the plug again, and yes, I know I have the correct plug, got it from sprint...or at least, they said it was the right one?

um, apparently, lsusb hangs...every time. ugh

Reason: new odd behavior

Re: HOWTO: Install BitPim

I can't figure why your phone would hang at the issue of lsusb or would connect and disconnect intermittently. When things like that happen, I automatically assume bad hardware. You said that your phone and cable works in Windows, so it's not the cable (hopefully). Right now, you need to find out why your phone hangs upon connection.
